This place is a top notch Greek diner. I had the Greek omelet which was delicious although could have used more feta. The real winner of this breakfast was the homemade biscuits! Omg! I don't usually eat an entire biscuit in one sitting but I made room for this one. It was so delicious, flakey and buttery. My partner had the chicken biscuit breakfast which is their take on country fried chicken which was also very yummy. Great, friendly service. Sit at the counter!

Liver and onions? Old shoe? I wore it to bring the dog out! Held up very well. I guess that will be lunch for him once it's cleaned off.

Yes I used Door Dash. Door dash didn't cook the food! It was like looking at the bottom of two shoes. Yes it was cold but I could warm it up. I called Popi's. They said it was too far to send new food. Way to blame someone else for your mistake! DoorDash refunded my money.

Spotless diner with a nice menu. Plus 3 TYPES OF GRAVY. Love Brown Gravy.

Friendly busy breakfast diner with full menu. Quick service and delicious breakfast options. Experienced staff are friendly and polite. Best part is 3 types of gravy, brown, sausage, and chicken. The brown gravy is full of flavor without tons of salt. Totally worth the ride to dunk with fries. This is a local diner with a steady flow of regulars who come in by themselves and join each other's table to enjoy their meal and local catchup of neighbors. Owners are frequently present and visit tables to ensure customers are enjoying their visit. You feel like you are part of the local family when you dine here. A Manatee County original for sure.

Basic breakfast...house potatoes bland-eggs overcooked from request, sausage patty...not link recommended

Trying to give it 3.5 stars...but cannot figure out how...This is a traditional "all-day" breakfast type diner - they open early and close early too at 2:30 pm. There is a robust and versatile lunch menu...but I came for breakfast. It's busy..and there is quite a bit of room with a mixture of tables, booths, and counter seats...no outside seating that I noticed though. It's very clean in Popi's....except for the glass window on the door leading to the bathroom area ( bathrooms were very clean however) funny that the smudged, greasy window looked out of character ...perhaps an off day?! So the food and service....that's why we are all here reading this...waitstaff was responsive but not very friendly...She took my order, and brought my coffee. They have decent prices. I ordered the traditional breakfast... eggs-toast potatoes and meat...so two eggs over "very" easy is what I ordered, - .not what returned on my plate- they barely had a runny yolk...I asked my server what she would recommend for the side dish: the house/home fry potatoes or hash browns...she said the hash browns were frozen and offered no further commentary so I chose the house/homefry potatoes. They were tasteless- no onions, peppers, seasoning...nothing other than just plain formerly baked potatoes I am guessing - I chose sausage for the meat - one patty / one link...the patty was okay...I waited for her to come back at least half through my breakfast to refill or top off my first cup of coffee however, that did not happen. She did stop by closer to the end of my meal, and yes, I gladly took a refill. As I sipped it...I started thinking about my review. disappointing overall ...I had such high hopes....there are multiple locations across the area. This one is on 301 in Palmetto/Ellenton...I may try a different location but not this one again.

Breakfast for lunch!

Well this was about the closest thing to a Jersey diner that we found in Florida. Looks like there's a few different Popi locations, we went to the one in Ellenton. Just like Jersey, there's a long counter with seats and even a dessert case. I had a Western omelet which was a little too dry. Being in the South though, I did have grits with it and they were excellent! My wife had a BLT and said it was very good. If you're in FL and missing NJ, I definitely recommend!

Bland, flat, under seasoned food. They touted their "homemade cheesecake" that actually looked like it was from a big box store.

Place is busy. Recommendation is to get reservations. There is some seating inside, but all the…read morereal fun is sitting outside where there's plenty of seating with fantastic views of the Manatee river. If it's too hot, or the sun is beating down upon you, ask for seats in the shaded areas/umbrellas. There's a small beach there , many kids running around, their goofing around while waiting for their meal. There is a bar area. Not huge, but since they open @ 11am.. I'd imagine that area is probably full for most of the rest of the day . So, if you're going to sit there, get there by 11:30am. We had a group of five, so we started off sharing the spicy queso dip and the shrimp and crab dip. Both are excellent, the shrimp and crab dip were to die for! A blackened chicken sandwich was tasty and quite well received. The mahi-mahi fish sandwich was blackened, still tasty but slightly underwhelmed. Should've done the grouper. Others in the group were quite satisfied with their meals. Service was good but the place is spread out and quite busy most of the time we were there, which was mid afternoon on a Saturday. This place is fantastic, and if I had to choose between Woody's River Roo & and Whiskey Joe's- I'd take Whiskey Joe's every time. They also have a better selection of craft beers. This is not meant to assassinate Woody's River Roo . The food and drinks are good there. Their prices are reasonable, Their atmosphere is good there. But pound for pound Whiskey Joe's is better. If you want to nitpick , Joe's is priced higher and their parking area is much smaller. Hence, many people choose to do the valet parking. I guess those could be construed as negatives. Again JOE's just puts out a slightly better experience.

The manager actually said "I don't know what to tell you" when we asked if he thought this was ok? The final straw was the incredibly filthy ladies room. If I were having a wedding or an event here, I would be mortified for my guests. If I had gone there first, I would never ever have eaten there Do better Whiskey Joe - this is a prime location and could be so much better with better management!

This restaurant is located on the end of a dock just north of Bradenton, great location…read more Servers were attentive, food was very good. We went with a large group and had reservations. I believe everyone was pleased with their meals. I'd recommend this place for those wanting a romantic dinner for two or a celebration for a group.

Food was pretty good, but the service was absolutely horrific…read more First off, we waited at the table for over 10 mins without any service. I had to go remind the hostess that we were there and waiting. No apologies. When the server, Michael, came over he said "I'll go get you waters since you guys just got here." No. Actually we got here 15 mins ago and you know that because you walked past us twice. Then he dropped a water glass on the table lol. Ok, fine. Took forever to get a water and we had to ask for a drink menu and ask for a kids menu. I guess they didn't see the stroller or remember that they brought over a high chair. Whatever, we can move past it. What I really can't get past is that EVERY SINGLE thing we ordered was MISSING something from the plate. Cornbread appetizer was cold when it arrived. Can't say that I ever received food in a cast iron skillet that was served below room temp. Ordered the house salad... had to send it back because it was missing the cheese and nuts. Ordered a bowl of soup... they brought out a cup. Ordered the kids French toast... they forgot the side of bacon. Ordered the tacos with fries.... They forgot the fries. Ordered the eggs Benedict.... They forgot the side of potatoes. They had to be doing it on purpose, right?! You can't be a wanna be classy restaurant on the water and be open on holidays and be THAT incompetent, can you?? Oh well. Their loss. Won't be back and would not recommend The Riverhouse to anyone.

We asked if there was bread, and they have a complementary bread and pesto that was excellent. We each chose something different so we could try four different meals. The fish tacos were great! Great flavor and huge piece of fresh fish. The green beans are an excellent side choice. The grilled salmon was also excellent. The key lime aioli was sweet, but delicious. The crab cake was not deep fried and crispy, but full of large pieces of crab. The homemade potato chips and fries were great. I did prefer the fries. They also have gluten free buns for the burgers. Service was also excellent.

Salmon + green beans did what they needed to do. They gave me coleslaw too, did I ask for it? no. did I eat it? also no, but that's a personal preference thing. We also got the Mediterranean sampler and that was actually really good. I even tried my mom's martini of the month and I don't even like martinis like that but I would 100% drink that one again. The vibe is kinda in between, you can dress up or show up casual and not feel weird. It's a little loud but in a fun way like good for a date night or girls night. Service was decent, the girl at the bar was nice and clearly doing everything at once, so no complaints there. Drinks aren't insanely strong, but they can be cute depending on what you order. My wine looked like...wine, but my mom's martini had a cute rim. It ended up being around $57 not including tip which honestly felt cheap for everything we got. Only downside is street parking, so be ready to walk a bit if you didn't park right beside it. I'd definitely go back if I'm in the area.
